Lastly, on the following Sunday the schedule will be as it always is.

PROGRAMMING LAYOUT:

It is worth noting ahead of time that this cycle is one month out of the year where we will incorporate two full days out of five in the week that are completely strength and skill based. I know that some of you may feel that this will affect your conditioning to an unrecoverable level. It is my belief that this is not true but I do understand that some of you simply have different goals at this time of year or just generally.

For this reason add-on WODs will be posted every week on the CFCC Facebook Page for your completion either in the gym in the “back” or on your own. You may complete these add-on WODs whenever we have other regularly scheduled WODs going on but please make sure you touch base with a Coach who is in the gym at that time before beginning to confirm what set-up will be the most courteous to other members. You are also encouraged to complete these WODs with other members inside or outside of the gym and post your times to the pinned post on the Facebook Page.

All that said, you do not NEED the add-on WODs for any reason other than if you would LIKE to complete them. If you’d like to maximize your potential to PR at the CrossFit Total you’re most likely better off NOT doing anything outside of the programming below.

BACK SQUAT CLUSTERS: This means you will have roughly 15 minutes to work up to a peak set of 1 for the Back Squat. Then, you will take 90% of that rep and attempt to complete a “Cluster”. A “Cluster” is: 1 rep every 20 seconds for 2 minutes. If you do not achieve 3 reps at your current load (90%) you will drop in weight on the next “Cluster”. If you achieve 7 reps at that load – you will add weight for the next “Cluster”. If you are somewhere in between you will perform the “Cluster” with the same weight again.
